Notes -
What's the story with Dan Bongino? The guy was super-excited to become deputy FBI director, and then 9 months in he just resigns without explaining anything and goes back to basically venting on the internet. What's up with that? Did something nefarious happen on the background? Did he bite off more than he could chew? Does he just prefer talking to doing?
I think he had the view that the FBI just had a few bad apples to find.
The reality is that it's impossible to go into a job like that alone. He needed to come in like a hostile lord taking over during feudalism. He needed to bring in about 20 loyal people to protect him and keep an eye on things.
As things went down he was completely outgunned. The long term FBI employees know all the rules so they can slow walk his requests, try to trick him into breaking the law, drop hints about things they can charge his family members with, etc, etc.
With the poor Epstein handling he was just sitting there watching his credibility with his audience being destroyed while he was stuck in an office unable to accomplish anything.
